Hello,According to a 1910 census, Rose, Nicola and Giacinta came to the US a couple years after Clemente.A possible 1900 ship manifest for son Nicola, traveling with mother, Rose and Giacinta (line 2,3,4)

Thank you for your replies so far.I am trying to find out the pertinent dates for my Grandparents.I never had the pleasure of knowing my Granfather Clemente. Rose was my Grandmother with Berardo being her married name. She lived in Yonkers, N.Y. which is where I am originally from.My Mother, Christine Veronica Berardo, was born 3/3/26 in N.Y. When I get home I will double check on that year date.She had either 7 or 8 sisters & brothers. I am trying in vain to contact a cousin who can hopefully provide me with dates & info.

Paul, thank you so much!! The first census listing from 1930 is my family! With my Mother, Christine being the youngest @ 4 and listing my Aunt & Uncles also.Awesome! I am so happy to finally know what part of Italy my Grandparents were from.Where can I go from here? Was your main source for this the census bureau? I am new to all of this & unfortunately none of my Aunts, Uncles, or dear Mother are no longer living.I beat myself up for not knowing about my Italian heritage.My other half is Polish which I do have dates for my Grandmother but none for my Grandfather. I did not ever have the pleasure of knowing him either as he died very young in a mining accident in Pa.

Carmine, Tessa and others on this forum can offer good advice. I would suggest you first learn all you can about your family after they arrived in the US before you look for them in Trivento. You and your cousin will make a good research team.

Laura,Thank you so much for these links!I cannot express my joy in seeing the wedding photo of my Grandparents in my hometown newspaper! Priceless ♥Also for my Grandmother's obituary listing. I remember that day, and I was 9 yrs. old.I will go onto the site that you mentioned when I get home from work.Thank you again, all of you, from the bottom of my heart!

Most people start with information around the home: family bibles, letters, passports, naturalization papers, school records, even notes on the backs of photos. You seem to be based in NY. Try going to the National Archives in Manhattan to check Census records & Immigration Manifests. They also have City Directories and Citizenship info. If they lived in Yonkers either a main library in Yonkers or Westchester (probably White Plains) could have information. Also if they had a house in Yonkers property records are in White Plains Land Records office in the Courthouse. There is a LDS Family History Center in Westchester.

Very few works have been published in English on the topics of Italian heraldry, nobility and onomatology as these relate to genealogy. Yet all three fields depend upon genealogical research.
